The con itself was a lot of fun and I had the chance to see, do, and meet several people at the convention. If you&#8217;re interested in seeing some of the cosplayers I ran into, you may view the photos I have <a href=\"https:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/mreh\/gallery\/0000a6p4\">posted at Livejournal<\/a>.

Not just any ice cream. Chocolate ice cream! I wanted some (free is always good!) but everyone else beat me to them each day they served them. ;o; I may be making plans to attend PAX since I will not be traveling to Vegas this year, so if anyone else plans to go&#8230; let me know!<\/p>\n<p>As for new video games, I started to play <strong>No More Heroes<\/strong> on the Wii. Its usually not my type of game, but my friend says it is really good and I try my best to try new things once in awhile. I&#8217;ve only gotten up to 10th ranking so far, am playing Sweet mode, and generally really suck&#8230; but I kind of like the crudeness of the game. Its art style reminds me of a comic book (though just the start of it&#8230; I haven&#8217;t gotten very far at all), and the fighting is alright. Though I wish I could get the hang of the upper and low attacks (I only got them by chance). Its also hard to fight when blood is covering 80 &#8211; 90% of the screen and you can&#8217;t see much else but blood, body parts, and coins. I think the later part amuses me most since its like a bloodied version of Mario breaking boxes to get coins! I&#8217;m not sure if I&#8217;ll continue playing it, but I guess I will dabble in it once in awhile before I give it back to my friend next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FFXI Cosplayers from the Bahamut Server Not so much an FFXI update as it is a Sakura Con 2008 and video game update.
